It’s been already a year Anne-Laure asked me for the first time if I would be interested to publish together every Friday.

🙂

On this first occasion, she made ​​me discover the beautiful garden Albert Kahn which you can (re)view my photos here and Anne-Laure’s there. One year we walk in Paris, trough its streets, its neighborhoods, churches and castles, … to show you our different views of these beautiful places (short summary here).

Today it was my turn to find a place that I particularly like … Although you will see again many religious artworks, this is not a church but the museum of Cluny that is dedicated to the Middle Ages.

This museum is located in the Gallo-Roman thermal baths (first-third centuries) that I have not yet visited because it rained every time … and the Hotel of the abbots of Cluny (late fifteenth century) … For the same “humid” reason, I have not visited its garden …

You will see pictures of the original statues from Notre Dame, beheaded by revolutionaries and luckily found in 1977, some tapestries (or details) of the Lady and the Unicorn, some beautiful stained glasses and many other beauties.

Hi Mathias!! These pictures are breathtaking. They remind me of a marvellous weekend in Paris a few years ago!! We have visited that museum together!! It seems as if we lost sight of each other since I left facebook. Big hugs from a totally overworked Charlotte!!

Heeeeey Charlotte !!!!
How are you doing ??
You’re right ! We haven’t talk to each other for a while !
I was just talking to Jürgen about you few days ago.
You know what I use two of the pictures I took when we visited it together (the statues from Notre Dame … I couldn’t take any pictures the other day because there was someone giving a presentation in that room).
Big hugs !!

Hey Mathias,
I recognize the picture. I am listening to M right now🙂 I am working as a cardiologist in internal medicine now. And I am working like mad. Let’s skype these days!! Oh, and I LOVE your pictures from Scotland!! Big hugs!! Charlotte.

🙂 M will give a concert this year but it is already sold out😀
Indeed, we should skype as soon as you can !! You have to talk to me about that crazy job of yours !!! Thanks for my pictures !!!🙂
Big hugs. Mathias

I remember being handed mediaeval music, I think from Cluny Abbey? to translate into modern notation. The place has such a history. But this museum? It makes me want to jump on the first plane out there!

The museum is located in the abbatial mansion built by the abbots of the Cluny Abbey (in Burgundy) who previously established a university at the beginning of the thirteenth century in that neighborhood of Paris (it was precisely located where the Sorbonne is now in the Quartier Latin).
This museum is just magnificent !! It’s a “must visit” next time you’ll come to Paris !
